Students contribute to medical research on new antibiotics

Centre College students are attempting to discover new antibiotics by inhibiting the growth of MurA, an enzyme that synthesizes with cell walls to give bacteria its shape. If MurA activity is effectively inhibited, the body's likelihood of resisting antibiotics is reduced.Summary To view these students click here: http://centre.meritpages.com/achievements/Students-contribute-to-medical-research-on-new-antibiotics/30847
